I tako je Tihana donjela svoju limun torticu na posao... Oduševila sam se kad sam ju probala i odmah odlučila napraviti ali naravno u malo drugačijoj varijanti. Zapravo sam najviše bila očarana kremom koja je bila tako lagana i pjenasta, božanstvenog limun okusa. Pa sam tako receptić za kremu uzela s Tihaninog bloga: Just cake the cupcake, a ideju za biskvit sam našla na internetu. U biskvit, po originalu, ide pivo, no nisam bila toliko hrabra pa sam taj sastojak zamjenila sa pola mlijeka, pola mineralne vode. Ideja za ukrašavanje je došla sama po sebi. Kupila sam si nedavno u Ikei nove keramičke noževe. S njima sam mogla skroz na tanko narezati kriške naranče. Torta je na kraju ispala super, iako je najbolja bila onda kad je ostala zadnja kriška. :-)
One day Tihana brought her lemon cake to work ... I was thrilled when I tried it and immediately decided to make it but in a slightly different version. Actually I was most fascinated with cream, it was so light and fluffy with divine lemon flavor. So, I took the recipes for cream from Tihanas blog: Just cake the cupcake. Idea for the cake I found on the Internet. In the original recipe for cake one of the ingrediens is beer, but I was not so brave, and I replaced it with half milk, half mineral water. The idea for decoration came to me itself. I have recently bought the new Ikea ceramic knives. I use them to cut the thin orange slices. Cake turned out great, and the last slice was the sweetest. :-)
ORANGE MEADOW CAKE
Potrebno vam je:
Za biskvit: 1 i 1/2 šalice brašna
2/3 šalice kakaa
1 mala žlićica praška za pecivo
1/2 male žlićica sode bikarbone
1/2 male žlićice soli
1 i 1/2 šalice šećera
100 g maslaca
1/2 šalice mlijeka i 1/2 šalice mineralne vode
4 jaja
1 žlica narančine korice i 1/3 šalice soka od naranče
1 žlićica arome vanilije ili 1 vanilin šećer
(ali onda smanjite za toliko ukupni šećer)
Priprema: Stavite grijati pećnicu na 180 C. Pomješajte zajedno suhe sastojke (brašno, kakao, p.p., sodu i sol). Istucite jaja sa šećerom dok se ne zapjene te dodajte rastopljeni maslac, mlijeko, mineralnu vodu, sok i koricu naranče. Lagano promješajte te dodajte suhe sastojke. Nemojte jako ni previše miješati. Kada se smjesa sjedini podijelite smjesju u dva dijela. Nauljite i pobrašnite, ili stavite papir za pečenje u kalup za tortu (moj je promjera 28cm i to je bilo dovoljno za ovu količinu smjese). Pecite dvije kore, svaku oko 30 min. Kore će još biti malo mekane kad ih izvadite pa ih ostavite da se ohlade i tek onda izvadite iz kalupa.
Recept za kremu potražite na gore navedenom linku. Samo limunov sok i koricu zamijenite narančinim.
Slaganje torte: Ako želite kore možete i močiti mlijekom i likerom od naranče ako imate. Ostavite jednu koru u kalupu te na nju stavite svu kremu i poklopite s drugom korom. Ostavite oko 30 min u frižideru da se stisne (moja se stisnula i brže) te premažite tučenim vrhnjem (oko 2 dl bit će vam dovoljno) i ukrasite. Ja sam po rubovima radila ruže s nastavkom za zvjezdice a gore sam ostavila glatku površinu te na nju slagala tanko narezane kriške naranči. Slagala sam ih na način da sam krenula s jednim redom od vanjskog ruba prema sredini i onda se pomaknula u desno i opet tako od vanjskog ruba. Kriške sam s tim malo gurnula jednu pod drugu.
ORANGE MEADOW CAKE
For the cake:
1 and 1/2 cups flour
2/3 cup cocoa
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 and 1/2 cup sugar
100 g of butter (or one stick)
1/2 cup milk and 1/2 cup of mineral water
4 eggs
1 tablespoon orange zest and 1/3 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Recipe for cream find on link above, just replace lemon juice and lemon zest with orange juice an zest.
Preparation: Preheet oven to 180 C (350K). Mix together dry ingredients (flour, cocoa, baking powder, soda and salt). Beat eggs with sugar until creamy, then add the melted butter, milk, mineral water, juice and orange zest. Gently stir in dry ingredients. Do not overmix it. When the mixture is combined divide it into two parts. Place the baking sheet into the round baking mold (mine is 28cm (11 inches) in diameter and that was enough for the amount of this mixture). Bake two cakes separately, each about 30 minutes. Cake will still be slightly soft when you remove them from oven but leave them to cool down and then remove from the mold.
Assembling the cake: If you want you can soak the cake with milk and orange liqueur ( if you have it). Leave one cake in the mold, then place all the cream on it and cover with second cake. Leave it in the fridge for about 30 min and apply a coat of whipped cream (about 2 ml (8oz) will be enough) and decorate. I made roses on the edges with the star tip, and on top of the cake I left a smooth surface. Then I lied orange slices in rows. I have started from the outer edge towards the middle and then moved to the right again and made another row.
